Architectural Attractions Sofia Square

Other than at Christmas, this is not a particulary fetching square. The cathedral is the real attration. But the real deterrents are the hustlers in costume who try to shake you down for money. And the place has pickpockets and dropped wallet scammers. Other than walking through it to go to one of the much better places in Kyiv, nothing to see here folks - move along!

"Sofiyskaya Square" est une vaste place avec de beaux bâtiments autour et une statue (un cavalier).Le lieu se trouve à proximité de la "Cathédrale Sainte-Sophie".

Красивая застройка

Очень красивое место. Обязательно нужно посетить.Отличные виды для фото и начала экскурсий. Были на Елке, Елка не впечатлила

Sofijski sobór to miejsce historyczne. Kompleks cerkiewny z zachowanymi fragmentami starych cerkwi i starych malowideł. Piękna architektura. po przekroczeniu murów otacza nas spokój. Warto jeśli ktoś lubi zabytki.

Aziz Sofia Katedralinin önündeki kocaman meydan. İsmini de buradan alıyor. Çevresindeki binalar görülmeye değer.

Lively during my visit (jan 12 to jan 15). Lots going on and a very central point in Kiev. It’s direct next to St. Sophia cathedral. Be careful not to get photos with guys dressed in animal suits. My wife foolishly got a photo with two of them and they proceeded to get very pushy and demanding when I gave them £5 each. They demanded more money and the situation required me to politely tell them to “get lost”. Don’t get hustled is my advice.This place is great during holidays and key events.

небольшая уютная площадь недалеко от Крещатика и Золотых Ворот. Богдан Хмельницкий на фоне колокольни Софийского собора смотрится эффектно. Отсюда лучше всего продолжить путь к Михайловскому собору.

O Natal na Ucrânia é comemorado no dia 8 de janeiro e estávamos lá! Essa praça, na frente da Catedral de S. Sofia era repleta de barraquinhas que vendiam produtos e pratos típicos do país. Carrossel, pôneis para as crianças montarem, arvore de natal gigantesca e um imenso 2018 em rosa choque alegravam esse dia de festa! Era maravilhoso!

Es una plaza inmensa con las dos catedrales, una a cada lado y algún edificio de la época soviética. Espectacular todo.

We were here around New Year's and before the Orthodox Christmas. The market here sells mostly good, cheap food and mulled wine, although there are a few kiddie rides. It is a very festive place to spend the early evening. Be warned, though: if you take a photo with the costumed characters walking through the market (such as Grandfather Frost), they want to get paid for it.

There is something about a large public space in front of an important building that is impressive and worthy to pause.
